"When we’re Downtown and wanting dim sum, we head to Qi. It’s from the same people behind Lin Asian Bar and a few other spots in town, and much like at all of their concepts, the dumplings here are some of Austin's best. During lunch and dinner hours, you’ll have access to a handful of options—from scallop caviar siu mai to crab meat fish maw soup dumplings—but show up for brunch on the weekends to unlock the full dim sum menu, with about three times as many choices. There are excellent dinner entrées as well, many of which are made with premium things like lobster, caviar, and Akaushi beef. If in doubt, order more dumplings." - nicolai mccrary
